The news today has been dominated with a mass shooting in Tucson, AZ including the murder of a 9 year old child, a federal judge, and four other, plus the wounding of 12 people including the local congresswoman who is in critical condition.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of the victims and to those who are injured.
The attack occurred in front of a grocery store where the congress woman was meeting with the public, constituents. A politician in a democratic society is only as good as their relationship with the people in their community. Unfortunately, a domestic terrorist event such as this forces an isolation between those who are elected to represent the people and the people.
We all need to be vigilant to the risks of domestic threats. They
are not just an issue in Arizona.
